Striped Bass
Pursuing striped bass near Palm Springs, CA, means heading to the California Aqueduct. While not a traditional lake or river, the aqueduct system, which transports water throughout the state, can hold surprisingly good numbers of striped bass. These fish follow the water flow and can be found in areas with current and structure, such as near bridges or pumping stations. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target stripers, as they tend to be more active during these periods. Large swimbaits, crankbaits, and topwater lures can all be effective. Be aware that access to the aqueduct can be limited, and fishing regulations are strictly enforced. Check with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for specific access points and regulations. Also, be prepared for windy conditions, which are common in the area. The stripers here are often migratory, so their presence can fluctuate.
